AI Technical Summary
Current 5G NR technology faces challenges in ensuring reliable uplink transmissions due to reduced coverage, particularly in millimeter wave frequencies, where UEs have limited transmit power and power-saving concerns, leading to inconsistent communication links.
Implementing a relay mechanism where a UE relays uplink transmissions from another UE to the base station, using techniques such as adding labels or employing different resource sets to distinguish the originating source, thereby enhancing coverage and reliability.
This approach improves the reliability and coverage of uplink transmissions by clearly identifying the originating source of relayed signals, allowing for better resource allocation and power management, thus enhancing overall communication efficiency in 5G NR networks.
